[stuff about downloading fonts to 9-pin dot matrix printer from
within WP]
I have used download fonts with dot matrix printers (Okidata 92 and
Epson LQ 850) with WP 4.2 and 5.0. However, I usually have downloaded
the fonts either before entering WP or shelling to DOS from within
WP and running an external download program. The downloading program
I have used is called Printworks (company in Hawaii, have address
at home). Fonts can also be defined and downloaded from BASIC, although
this is tedious.

If others have a more streamlined way of doing this I'd be interested
in hearing about it.
